I grew up in the country. My dad was both a small business owner and a farmer.

From him, I learned to love the land and the pleasures of simply being out in the fresh air and sunshine. I learned to love animals and treat them right. I learned that hard work better be its own reward because nature doesn’t always cooperate with the goals of a farmer — a late summer hail storm can easily wipe out the crop that you plowed and planted and sweated over to get in the field. And I learned that your reputation in business is a precious thing. If you’re a business owner in a small community, your reputation is everything. When my father died at the age of 83, people that I’d never met before came up to me at his funeral and told me that he’d helped them when they needed a loan, a helping hand or some other act of kindness. That didn’t surprise me. He had a solid code of ethics and lived by his own set of values.

In my own life, both personal and business, I enjoy being around people who are honest, ethical, hard working, trustworthy and have a purpose in life. I enjoy working with people who help others and who make their communities better places to live. And when I look in the mirror, I want to see someone like that looking back at me. For me, supporting people and organizations that are dedicated to contributing to the greater good is a simple choice.

The attributes of leadership enable us to realize our aspirations, capitalize on opportunities, overcome challenges and obstacles, creatively manage relationships, learn from failure and turn setbacks into successes. In business and in life, leadership is the glue that holds it all together — and makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts.

we certainly do reap what we sow Pamela. I would love to live or have even been brought up in the country like you were. I was brought up as townie and make the most of my lot so im not complaining. A small garden can still help you feel as though you are in the country if its filled with animals and wildlfowers. ( thats my excuse for all the weeds but I knw they are attracting bees and insects so weeds can stay for now or for good )

I would love to have been brought up a farm, hardworking and out in the fresh air all day. Mind you not on the large farms with chemicals and pesticides nowadays. These people ( they call themselves farmers) have certainly lost their way and their values and just look for the quickest way to make money no matter what damage they cause.

I have begun to tend to my weeds as they seem to be the things growing the best for me and many of them do have some beautiful flowers on them!

You reap what you sow... how very true it is. So many people tend to blame everything on others, on circumstances, on luck or on anything other than themselves. How can we expect to live in a wonderful world if we trash it with our own actions? Gandhi said "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

thats one of my favorite quotes Jimmy and its so true because if each of us changed so many little things we would begin to see change happen as a greater whole. As pamela says its all about keeping good values and in this busy world its too tempting to get bogged down rushing around and forgetting to stop and smell the roses along way appreciating this lovely planet that we have and respecting it

I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of summers at my uncles farm. People tend to be a lot nicer and more ethical in the countryside, it might be because in a tight nit community you get to know your neighbors pretty well and it makes it hard to feel indifferent towards them.
